Supriatna explained that the Attorney General has not yet proposed Adriansyah's full dismissal to the President, as the legal proceedings must conclude first. The temporary suspension was initiated following a report from 'Tim 9' (Team 9) regarding Adriansyah's suspect status. The investigation into alleged money laundering by Adriansyah stems from the discovery of 74 kilograms of gold and Rp543 billion in cash at a residence in Sentul.

In addition to Adriansyah, the Attorney General's Office has also named two private individuals, Nurman Herin (NH) and lawyer Don Ritto (DR), as suspects for their alleged involvement in the money laundering scheme. The head of Tim 9, Rudi Margono, indicated that the alleged money laundering activities occurred while Adriansyah was serving as a prosecutor and structural official within the institution.

The Attorney General dismissed him. The mechanism is based on a report from Team 9 that the person concerned is a suspect. (Temporarily dismissed) as of July 31, 2026.
